Muse-ings 
I love the way you write. I think Muse-ings could be a book someday. Nice to get it for free–at the moment. keep up the great work…or play?
Melinda…Every time we speak I am reminded why I am friends with you…you are good for my ego and my art-soul.
I did not know that Thalia and Calliope are names of muses. You learn something new everyday! I thought Calliope is just a term for some musical instrument. Sorry to be showing my ignorance maybe? I always thought of muse-Ings as thoughts if inspiration or thinking that leads to innovation. I never associated it with art that is three or two dimensional but truly it can.
It would be interesting to find out how Calliope became the name of a musical instrument wouldn’t it? I guess we’ll have to look it up!
This was such a great history lesson in this small post. I loved reading this. I am one of those people that love history. Wonderful post
Thanks!
Great work. There is nothing so satisfying as planting trees.
There is nothing quite as sad as seeing the saplings we planted in March get devoured by caterpillars in May. 😦
so sad.
